The old school

Sir: What a lucky little chap Henry Bowen is to have such a clever Mummy to intro- duce him to The Spectator cartoons (Let- ters, 17 February). I'm a Granny and have no one to help me with them, though I do understand one or two; maybe if my grandson Jimmy grows up to be as clever as Henry he'll explain them to me; his Grand- pa needs a bit of help too.
